  I’m interesting in upgrade to my own domain. Right now I have a wordpress.com blog, if i upgrade to my own domain, will all my contact-posts, pictures, drafts, etc automatically transfer over?

  What happenes to the pins on pinterest that have the link to my orginal blog?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  When you add a domain to your site none of the content changes.

  You will still have your free WordPress.com address (megsmealplanning.wordpress.com), but visitors will see the new domain in their address bar instead. Think of it as changing the name of your house. The name may have changed, but visitors still go to the same place.

  What happenes to the pins on pinterest that have the link to my orginal blog?

  If your pins are linking to your free WordPress.com address, visitors will be redirected to your new domain.

  Come back to me if you have any questions!
